 And while it was the most difficult experience of my life, I can stand here tonight and honestly say to you that I thank God for it because in prison, I truly found freedom. When I was released from prison, I was 42 years old. I'd had a very successful law firm. I knew how to make money practicing law. I could have gone back and done it, but I thought this is a time in my life when I should take stock. And it was during that period that I woke up in the middle of the night with what seemed to me a vision of what God wanted.
